Class of 2020 G Kadary Richmond (NY/Brewster Academy) Portal to St Johns

[two3zone]

I wish I had something pertinent to add other than how exciting it would be if he returned.

Your thoughts on the green recycling symbol would be appreciated by me and I'm sure others.

16 ppg, 7 rpg and 6 apg seems pretty damn good lol

Maybe losing out to Leffew was a blessing in disguise

 

[phil77]

Well, that update was a positive one.

Rothstein's pod (just posted) adds St.John's staff wants it done today

Kadary could well be the New Big East preseason player of the year. If he stays in that conference.

If he were to come here, I think we show up in most people’s preseason top 25s.

The big time programs reload with a seasoned senior PG from the portal when their PG leaves. We need to start acting like a big time program again.

Gotta get past today and tomorrow, then we can get excited about him visiting this week/end

Hopefully St Johns just adding a PG will give him pause and want to seriously listen to our offer

 

[heresjohnny88]

think St. John’s feels this way:
1) we’re in a good spot , the $ is there, he likes us
2) if we don’t close this soon and he starts thinking about his ex, then it’s time to get nervous.

Everyone just keeping listening to Jake

So it’s the classic “if we get him on campus he’s coming”?

Agreed.

If we land Kadary, shoring up a significant "weak" spot in the lineup, next year's team could be top 25. Now, we obviously don't know how the players will gel, whether or not the team actualizes it's potential, etc.

But I think they'd be a solid NCAA tournament team, and certainly maybe more.

If you told me a month ago he would visit the campus I'd call you insane.

Probably both. If they’re trying to sell him on that three guard lineup, I just doubt know how that works. Kadary is a ball dominant guard.

Kadary played in what was essentially a 4 guard lineup at SHU. Dawes, a 6’1 guard, Wusu a 6’4” guard, Davis a 6’6” guard and Richmond a 6’6” guard was their starting lineup, Bediako was their 6’10” center. It allowed Richmond to go off ball, play the forward, shooting guard role and attack from the wings too. He alternated within games, even between each game how much he played on ball. He was a forward growing up so he’s also very comfortable on a wing. Often he’d bring up the ball and hand it off to another guard and slide to the wing. He’s kind of the epitome of a multi positional type player. I think coaches, fans wanted him to be more ball dominant but he picked the opponent and times when he was. He, actually being a good rebounder, initiated many fast breaks with great outlet passes to another guard.

Chaz owens was on the team last year lol

If he’s a good practice player who makes the starters better, glad he’s here. Most good walkons consider the practices their “game time” and compete hard in practice.

 

[orangefog]

If he goes to St. John’s, he becomes part of a three-headed ball dominant point guard group where he would be the primary ball handler for 13.33 minutes per game?

I can't be teased like this again! I told myself I won't let it happen ever again! I've failed myself just one week later!

He was third in the big east in assists behind Newton and Kolek. I watched probably 20 of their games, there wasn't anything to describe him as other than a point guard.

The multi positional versatility seems to align with Red's vision. To me, Kadary's skill would seem to play best as a ball dominant PG/playmaker. With Judah as the example, maybe that is how Red would play him.

Maybe part of the decision making for Kadary is what role he thinks best suits him and his development relative to having a shot at making the league.

 

[orangefog]

IT'S HAPPENING!!!!

 

[RedtheGOB]

St. John’s board expects Kadary to sign today or tomorrow with them. They did specify “expect”.

At least we”ll know tomorrow. If that falls through they’ll be losing it.

 

[Sbucketball]

I'm guessing/hoping the prospect of Kadary coming back has NIL donors excited and we're able to put together a big package.

Bell might be the biggest beneficiary of having a PG like Kadary. He should be recruiting him hard.

Looks like you beat me to it when pointing out the recycle symbol

I thought it had something to do with Rocky from paw patrol, but I came up with nothing.
